Mary Thoma has created a delightful safe way for families to enjoy Halloween. Go check it out!
Extra! Extra! Butte Hollow Is in the News! 📰🍂
Oh, my dear neighbors, I can hardly keep my lantern steady!
Butte Hollow has been featured in the Loveland Reporter-Herald! A real newspaper came all the way to our little village to hear our story, and I must say, I’ve never been so proud to be Keeper of Order.
I’d like to give a very special thank-you to our visitors, reporter Sharla and photographer Jenny. What lovely, lovely people! They were kind and curious, and they treated every corner of our village with care. They even followed Rule #3 (look with your eyes, not your hands) without being reminded once. I’d welcome them back to Butte Hollow any time.
Of course, this story belongs to all of you: the kids who stop by on the way to school, the families who come to vote, and everyone who’s dropped a black river stone in a bucket. You are the reason our village keeps growing. 💛

If you’re visiting for the first time because of the newspaper, welcome! Find a stone, cast your vote, and see what happens next.
Warmly,
Mabel, Keeper of Order 🕯️
